Several key arts from different Steam games are pasted against a purple and blue background. Middle title text reads "Next Fest" "A Celebration of Upcoming Games" with the steam logo in the upper left. Upper left is for the game "7 Nights With Vroombi". Bottom left is "Dosa Divas". Middle is "Beast Breaker". Upper right is "Mayor May Knott". Bottom right is "Oddfauna". Many of my emotes are pasted near the different titles looking like a post from a 2000s blog.

It's time for day 3 of our Steam Next Fest demo extravaganza!! Yesterday we went off on a demo tangent so we'll try to get some of yesterdays games today, we'll see. First up we're checking out Rova by @freerangedevs.bsky.social !
